| Notes |
Diet: general for group: both heterotrophic (eat other organisms) and autotrophic (photosynthetic) [details] Distribution: coastal and oceanic; cosmopolitan in polar to tropical waters. Often abundant. [details] Habitat: pelagic [details] Importance: General: known for producing dangerous toxins, particularly when in large numbers, called "red tides" because the cells are so abundant they make water change color. Also they can produce non-fatal or fatal amounts of toxins in predators (particularly shellfish) that may be eaten by humans. [details] Predators: marine microorganisms and animal larvae [details] Reproduction: general for group: both sexual and asexual [details] | |||||||||||||
